Cannot change Account Avatar/Login Image in Windows 10

Go to https://account.microsoft.com and sign-in with same email address as computer. Click your avatar/default icon above your name, then 'New Picture' and adjust to fit. Picture will be stored in this hidden folder location (type into File Explorer address bar), View only - %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures

Thanks mrgeek, I had just figured out the issues. Using Process Explorer, I had isolated the issues to some of the third party libraries used by Adobe Photoshop & Media Player Classic. Using autorun to remove them from the system had fixed my issues.

Hello romeoDo,

Thanks for your feedback, I've exactly the same problem, could you please explain what did you do with the "third party libraries" ? I've got Photoshop CC too so I supposed that I'm in the same case as you. I've tried all the solutions available on the internet but I still have the error on changing my windows 10 avatar.

Thank you a lot for your feedback and your explaination with more details (and sorry for my bad english, you guessed I'm french )

Nicolas
